Red Lamp post 1957?

Tomorrow I am picking up my latest Scale7 loco 7005 Sir Edward Elgar by Masterpiece Models. I have been looking up photo's of the loco and came across this one with what appears to be a red painted lamp on the front. The photo must have been taken no earlier than 1957 because that is when the loco was renamed Sir Edward Elgar and looking at the one chaps thin tie may be even the 1960's.
